“…Further research indicates that if a murder is not solved within 48 h, the solvability of the murder decreases dramatically (10,11). It is clear that time and distance are critical factors in case solvability, yet little empirical research has been conducted in this area (12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

Empirical studies of child abduction murder investigations are lacking. Accordingly, an empirical analysis of the effect of time and distance relationships on case solvability in child abduction murders (N=735) was conducted. The murders occurred across the United States from 1968 to 2002. Murder incident components examined were: victim last seen site, initial contact site, murder site, and body recovery site. Time and distance intervals between component pairings were also examined. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed to determine if information relating to time and distance intervals between components were critical solvability factors. Results show that information about time and distance increases case solvability. Results also demonstrate that time and distance relationships contribute uniquely to case solvability in murders of abducted children. Findings also indicate that additional factors such as type of forensic evidence, investigative resources, or actions by first responders, may be critical to case solvability.

Protection of spot of occurrence is very important for the investigation purpose. In a suspicious death case requires the greatest efforts on the part of forensic expert who visits the crime scene. It is generally best to suspect the worst, a homicide. In an interesting case study, it was reported that a burnt dead body of a lady was laid inside her house when the doors of the room were bolted from inner side and windows were found opened. Some clay-tiles had been removed from the clay-tiled roof and it was alleged that her husband put her to fire and ran away from the roof way.Careful examination of spot revealed that the possibility of creating hole in the clay-tiled roof after incident of fire, from the outside not from the inside, which lead the direction of investigation in the other direction. In these types of cases the forensic expert must be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of homicide, suicide and accident investigation.

“…Weston, Wells, and Lushbaugh (2000) reported that larger police units field a so-called mobile crime laboratory wdth crime laboratory forensic scientists or detectives trained in forensic science to process crime scenes. Fisher (2000) stated that uniformed officers and detectives may not possess the special skills and expertise necessary to process the entire crime scene. He recognized the need {br non-sworn civilian personnel specially" trained to process crime scenes.…”
